People in our hometown have always been known for being stingy, but it is actually a habit! Take marriage as an example. There are still many gifts in many places, but there are still few gifts here.
Marriage, the main picture is lively, the average neighbor's contribution is enough, it seems that there is no need for too many ceremonies. If you are a classmate, you will usually follow one or two hundred. Ordinary relatives, the nearest words are one or two hundred, and some distant relatives are basically dozens.
You may not believe it, but when we got married in our hometown, there was a link called kowtow after lunch, which means to recognize the elders. The taller ones are our own brothers and sisters, ranging from one to two thousand, and some directly gave five thousand. Only a few dozen are low, and some are twenty or thirty. Why? Because people used to get these when they got married. Although money is worthless now, it is not good to raise prices without authorization.
If you do nothing, you usually just take something, which is not a gift. Many relatives order a big flower cake for each family. Then there are several relatives who can invite people to play together. Let's talk about having children first. After giving birth, when entertaining guests at the full moon, relatives usually buy something, such as a piece of cloth or a suit, and then give some happy money. This kind of happy money is very small, basically tens or even a few dollars.
So in our local area, money is generally not much, but if you treat people, it's usually a pot of rice, which doesn't cost much and generally won't lose money.
